What are the benefits of short-term storage? 

Short-term storage is the smart, commitment-free way to manage life's sudden changes. Here are some of the benefits of our short-term storage:

Storage that doesn’t cost the earth 

You only pay for the exact time you need. With our short-term rentals starting at only 7 days, you can find the right space to fit your belongings, budget, and timeframe. If you’re trying to save a bit of money during a house move or a student storing your belongings between term times, this is ideal for you.

Your storage unit, your terms 

Short-term storage gives you the ultimate flexibility. You can easily switch up your storage space to fit your needs - whether that’s upsizing, downsizing, or extending your lease for a few more weeks: the choice is yours.

Stress-free moving, even when your renovation’s not going to plan

Think of us as the extra space you need whilst renovating or moving home. For gaps between moving dates, valuable belongings that need to stay dust-free, or just for bonus space whilst packing up, short-term storage is the perfect solution.

Extra breathing room

You can store seasonal decorations, bulky equipment, or extra business inventory for as long as you need and access them at a moment’s notice, all whilst freeing up valuable space in your home, office or garage.
